I am building a power supply from scratch. I know how to do everything except, I do not know what size of a capacitor I need? what I want is for the dc to be able run chips
Thank you
Thank you
Not for the output of a bridge rectifier as the op's schematic shows.100mV is a TON of ripple. Almost any capacitor will get you less than that.

A link to a schematic is the equivalent to no schematic in my book. The OP is asking for advice - it is up to HIM to make sure all the information is presented in the question so that people he wants help from can have that information at their fingertips.Not for the output of a bridge rectifier as the op's schematic shows.
The typical ripple at that point is more like a volt or two under full load.
If you don't want to click on a link that's fine, but then I don't see the point of offering design advice when you don't know what the op is referring to.A link to a schematic is the equivalent to no schematic in my book.

Yeah, but where's the fun in that?If you don't want to click on a link that's fine, but then I don't see the point of offering design advice when you don't know what the op is referring to.
Voltage regulation is good. What chips did you want to power? Voltage depends on the type of chips.I am building a power supply from scratch. I know how to do everything except, I do not know what size of a capacitor I need? what I want is for the dc to be able run chips
